Select a Field

[RichUE]

I generate cross-references to bookmarks. I checked the Show bookmarks and
Show Fields Always in Office button -> Word Options. When I select the
cross-reference (either using the mouse or by Shift+arrow), the behaviour
used to be that the whole field was quickly selected. Now I have to select
each character individually. There is an option to select whole words but I
find that feature annoying when I select parts of sentences. How do I restore
the 'field quick select' behaviour?

In the Compatibility Options (Office Button | Word Options | Advanced--down
at the very bottom), there is an option to "Select entire field with first
or last character." Note that Compatibility Options are document-specific
unless you click the Default... button.
